  • Quick question about HRT and sexual orientation.

    Jump

  • I was not attracted to men before. Now, I am still not attracted to men. I do find myself understanding the appeal more now, if that makes sense.

  • I'm trying so hard not to be jealous! You look amazing girlfriend!

    Finally comfortable and confident with sex, only to now want HRT and I'm scared of "starting over"

    Jump

  • Hi! So ymmv, but this was my experience.

    I also had taken years to become more comfortable with sex, prior to starting hrt. I have been on hrt now for almost a year, and things have changed a lot.

    however

    The changes were all things that I was able to clearly communicate to my partner, which made it easier for her. I wasn't confused, just knew that my body appreciates a different approach now.I would say that I started from an "okay" place, sexually. Now I am very confident and comfortable.

    My libido took a dive initially, but is now up to a level I am happy with. I think it's improved since I feel more desirable now. I don't worry anymore, "ugh, why would anyone want to have sex with that," when I look in the mirror.

  • Doctor thinks my E is too high

    Jump

  • I had both tested, but the T results are just taking longer. Thanks for the concern :)

  • Doctor thinks my E is too high

    Jump

  • That's a good point. My shot was on a Sunday, and the test was taken on a Tuesday.

  • Doctor thinks my E is too high

    Jump

  • For context, I know we have this chart

    in the transfem literature, but my doctor also provided this table with my results:Female Follicular Phase: 12-233 pg/mL Ovulation Phase: 41-398 pg/mL Luteal Phase: 22-341 pg/mL Postmenopausal: <138 pg/mLWhich seems to suggest that my level would be acceptable.

  • Orchiectomy in Chicago, IL. Anyone here been through that?

    Jump

  • to have the same surgeon perform the orchi and later the vaginoplasty.

    This is really good advice, thanks.

    Have you gone to local trans support groups and spoken with any local trans women who have had an orchi?

    I have never knowingly met another trans person IRL. I'm in a pretty red area, but I'm sure there are others. I have no idea where I'd look though.

    I could always try to see how that experience goes for her and find out her surgeon if that would help... I can also DM you details of my surgeon

    I would appreciate that!

  • This is called, "yucking someone's yum."

  • DAE have better results taking prog orally?

    Jump

  • I've read quite a bit of the estrogen/ anti-androgen sections, but apparently nowhere near enough of the progestogen topics.

  • DAE have better results taking prog orally?

    Jump

  • Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. I have my checkup later this month and will make sure to let them know I want to switch my meds.I thought I was reasonably well read on HRT, but this is a whole new area I know very little about. Thankful for people like you <3

  • DAE have better results taking prog orally?

    Jump

  • Oh wow I'm not sure. This is what I'm taking.

  • DAE have better results taking prog orally?

    Jump

  • Okay, my prescription is a 5mg oral tablet every day. This article is talking about 200+ mg orally to be effective, or 100mg rectally. Why in the world would my prescription be so low??Also:

    Administration of oral micronized progesterone capsules rectally instead of orally likewise may be effective and may achieve much higher progesterone levels than oral administration. However, rectal administration of oral progesterone capsules has not been formally studied.

    Am I wasting money having 5mg per day orally? Would have been nice to know 6 months ago when I started.

  • Okay hi time for a dumb question. How else do you take it? I wasn't aware there were options ;-;

  • How do I find an accepting healthcare provider?

    Jump

  • I started by using this website since it lets you filter for LGBTQ+ affirming professionals.I found one doctor not too far from me, about 30 minutes. They moved though, and referred me to another who I now love. The new doctor wasn't tagged as affirming on that site, so I know it isn't perfect, but it's a start.I'm guessing a lot of doctors may just not have thought to list themselves that way, even if they are.

  • Hey Bigots!

    Jump

  • I think they mean a bigot might wear this shirt to say the 1% you're wrong for siding with is trans people.I don't think most people would think that though, so they would just end up looking supportive by accident.
